Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I'm liking the idea of rhino lining or using line x on the individual boards and the rest of the bed with the stainless strips

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Wow, there are some really nice beds and some very unique ideas on this thread. Here is mine. No mounting bolts showing or bolts in the strips. Also no gas filler, just simple and clean. Tailgate opens sideways also.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
is there a trick to getting the bed square? Seems like when I adjust one spot it throws off something else.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I don't take it out in the rain.
![]() It's not a solid surface on the back side so that would help. If I got it wet I think I would likely pull it out, let it dry and put it back. Very easy to do so.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Before photos when I first built the truck, and after photos with my new wheel tubs and empty bed. I will probably go with a smooth polished aluminium bed with wood slats, currently doing mock up work, will post new update photos in a few months.
